Also what didn't you like about the z1000sx? That's a bike I seriously considering as the next upgrade from my Fz1
It was a 63 plate sx. I didn't like the dash layout, the way the chain adjusts, short servicing intervals, the wind blast and short gearing. They're all minor points apart from the wind blast that maybe would change with different screen.

Ah right, I'm looking at a 2017+ model with all the electronics etc I've not looked into servicing I intervals but as I only do about 3-4 miles a year I cant see it being an issue.
And what's up with the chain adjustment and gearing?
I have noticed the odd looking adjusters?

2017+ is fine mate as the service intervals were increased and mpg went from 39 to 49, apparently and after 2014 they had adjustable TCS and 2 power modes? In fact all years were fine and even with the one I rode - the gear ratio felt too close if that makes sense? It wasn't them, it was me. As for the chain adjustment - it looks odd as fuck, plus I like a centre stand as it makes life so much easier. Don't get me wrong it went well, rode well, handled well and looked mighty fine - it just wasn't for me. Hence my search for an FZ1s.
